Contextual Overview

¹⁵ One of those at the table with Jesus heard these things and said to him, "Blessed are the people who will share in the meal in God's kingdom." ¹⁶ Jesus said to him, "A man gave a big banquet and invited many people. ¹⁷ When it was time to eat, the man sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come. Everything is ready.' ¹⁸ "But all the guests made excuses. The first one said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go look at it. Please excuse me.' ¹⁹ Another said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen; I must go and try them. Please excuse me.' ²⁰ A third person said, ‘I just got married; I can't come.' ²¹ So the servant returned and told his master what had happened. Then the master became angry and said, ‘Go at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.' ²² Later the servant said to him, ‘Master, I did what you commanded, but we still have room.' ²³ The master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes, and urge the people there to come so my house will be full. ²⁴ I tell you, none of those whom I invited first will eat with me.'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen,.... To plough the field with,

and I go to prove them: this also being at, or near evening, was an unsuitable time to go into the field with yokes of oxen to try them, how they would draw the plough, and work in the field; the morning would have been a much more proper time:

I pray thee have me excused; to the master of the feast: this man represents also the carnal and worldly Jews, who preferred temporal things before spiritual.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I go to prove them - To try them, to see if he had made a good bargain. It is worthy of remark that this excuse was very trifling. He could as easily have tried them at any other time as then, and his whole conduct shows that he was more disposed to gratify “himself” than to accept the invitation of his friend. He was selfish; just as all sinners are, who, to gratify their own worldliness and sins, refuse to accept the offers of the gospel.
